Amolibros Publishing Services

Amolibros is a complete service designed to assist authors who wish to consider self-publishing but wish to avoid getting overburdened by the time-consuming aspects of either or both production and marketing.

When you decide to produce a book it is important to pay attention to detail and to ensure that your finished product is not only a well-executed and professional piece of production but also produced in a way that is going to be suitable for your marketplace. In other words the book must look right for the audience that you hope to sell your book to. Amolibros, through using professional experts in the publishing and printing industries, will help you achieve your objectives as sensibly and economically as possible.

We won’t try to persuade you into vast print runs or raise false expectations for the sale of your book but we are committed to providing you with realistic expectations and professional assistance in reaching your objectives.

Amolibros is a consultancy designed to help you publish your own book. We believe that intelligent people would like a sensible alternative enabling them to self-publish without spending too much money or making expensive mistakes. The finished product and copyright will always belong to the author. For authors who want expert assessment of their work Amolibros coordinates with The Literary Consultancy.

We expect you to have a variety of requirements not only in the production of your book but also in your marketing, sales and distribution needs. Some authors may wish to execute their own marketing, particularly if they have produced something for a specialist market or for their local community. Some authors wil require national sales and distribution and Amolibros will be able to offer this service through a national distributor. Back up services will also be available to provide assistance in any marketing campaign that you may decide to undertake. You will always be encouraged to participate actively in marketing your own work. The best, the most knowledgeable and the most enthusiastic person able to convey information about a book is its author.

Wherever possible, authors are encouraged to visit Amolibros – we offer a personal service and we find that talking to an author in depth about his manuscript can help enormously in the publishing process.
